The Best Roofers in Austin

Ja-Mar has been roofing Central Texas since 1970, which is the longest unbroken run of anybody here, and it holds the credential stack to go with it. GAF Master Elite plus the 2026 three-star President's Club award, which sits above Master Elite, and certification to install a FORTIFIED Roof, the fortified standard developed for high wind and hail. Its own Professional Roofing Certification comes with a two-year transferable workmanship warranty.

The part that separates it from the national brands is the sheet metal shop. Ja-Mar fabricates standing seam, stone-coated steel and custom flashing in house and lists oil canning correction as a service, which is not something a company that orders panels from a supplier can offer. It also does historic roof restoration, relevant from Hyde Park to Clarksville. The headquarters is at 16712 S IH 35 in Buda, about fifteen miles south, with the Austin office in Westlake and further branches in San Antonio, Temple, Marble Falls, Corpus Christi and Abilene.

Wilson has been working Austin, Round Rock and Georgetown since 1976 and marks fifty years in business on its own homepage. It runs its own metal shop, the second of three firms here that do, and it covers shingle, tile, flat and metal, so it is not a composition-only operation that subcontracts anything awkward.

The distinguishing line of business is new construction. Wilson roofs for custom and large production builders across Central Texas, which is a different discipline from storm work: it means scheduling against a builder's critical path rather than against an insurance adjuster, and it means the company's reputation sits with people who buy hundreds of roofs rather than one. Residential repair, commercial re-roofs and insurance claim scoping are all on the list. Its GAF listing shows Master Elite, which its own site echoes.

Trading since 1985 and a Better Business Bureau accredited business with an A plus rating, Longhorn publishes the widest spread of manufacturer credentials of any independent on this page. GAF certified, Owens Corning preferred contractor and CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator, which is the shingle-specific qualification most Austin roofers skip. Cool roof shingles and roof ventilation are listed as their own services rather than upsells, which in a city with Austin's summer is the right emphasis.

It is the third firm here with its own metal capability, building custom panels on site from 24-gauge Galvalume. One honest note before you call. The site is inconsistent about its own age, claiming "40+ years experience" in one place and "35 years in business" in another, against a stated 1985 start. The 1985 date is the one it repeats, so that is the one we have used.

Kidd has been roofing professionally since 1982 and is a consistent GAF President's Club winner, the three-star tier above Master Elite, along with repeat appearances in Roofing Contractor magazine's Top 100 and on the Inc. 5000. On credentials alone it has a case for being first.

It is fourth because of scale rather than quality. Kidd now runs six offices, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Denver and Orlando, and it is worth knowing that several of those are not where the name suggests: the one it markets as Dallas is in Irving and the one it markets as Houston is in Cypress. Austin is the exception and the original, a genuine city address on East Anderson Lane, which is why it belongs on this list and sat lower on our Dallas one. Gutters and wall cladding come with the roofing.

GAF Master Elite since 2005, BBB A plus, and a GuildQuality member, which is a third-party review system that surveys every customer rather than collecting the volunteers. It names its people, Nicholas M. Riley as owner and chief executive and Todd Munsinger as president since 2005, and states plainly that it is not a franchise, both of which are rarer than they should be in this trade.

The service area is the reason to call it: Travis, Hays, Williamson and Bastrop counties, with South Austin, Circle C, Dripping Springs, Buda, Kyle, Lakeway and Westlake named individually. Roofing, metal, gutters, soffit and fascia, siding and windows. Note for accuracy that the website's own numbers do not quite agree with each other, showing both 4.9 and 5.0 stars and both 3,559 and 3,700 plus customers, so treat its review figures as approximate.

A locally owned South Austin roofer with Patrick Moran named as president, in the Austin market for more than thirty years by its own account, a Better Business Bureau member and a member of the Austin Roofing Contractors Association. Residential replacement, repair, metal and flat roofs.

The reason it earns a place is the warranty. Acura publishes a five-year labour guarantee on roof replacements on top of the manufacturer's material warranty, and most Austin roofers publish no labour term at all, which means you find out what it is when something goes wrong. The reason it is sixth is the opposite problem: the site gives no street address and no founding year, only a service area and "over 30 years", so there is less to check than with the firms above.

This is the commercial entry and it is here for property managers, not homeowners. Tecta America Austin runs leak repair, preventative maintenance programmes, inspections and a 24 hour service line out of an industrial yard in Pflugerville, and it is the only firm on this page whose published weekday hours start at 7 a.m., which tells you the work starts before the tenants arrive.

Be clear about what it is. The Austin branch dates to 2014 and Tecta America is a national roofing group with its corporate headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois, so this is a local operation inside a large company rather than an Austin firm in the sense the six above are. For a flat roof over occupied floors, that structure is an advantage, because the maintenance programme outlasts whoever sold it to you.
